-<title>About debugging symbols</title>
-
-<para>
-Most programs and libraries by default are compiled with debugging
-symbols and optimizing level 2 (gcc options -g and -O2) and are compiled
-for a specific CPU. On Intel platforms software is compiled for i386
-processors by default. If you don't wish to run software on other
-machines other than your own, you might want to change the default
-compiler options so that they will be compiled with a higher
-optimization level, no debugging symbols and generate code for your
-specific architecture. Let me first explain what debugging symbols
-are.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-A program compiled with debugging symbols means you can run a program or 
-library through a debugger and the debugger's output will be user friendlier. 
-These debugging symbols also  enlarge the program or library significantly. 
-</para>

-<para>
-To remove debugging symbols from a binary (must be an a.out or ELF binary)
-run <userinput>strip --strip-debug filename</userinput> You can use wild cards
-if you need to strip debugging symbols from multiple files (use something like
-strip --strip-debug $LFS/usr/bin/*). Another, easier, options is just
-not to compile programs with debugging symbols. Most people will probably
-never use a debugger on software, so by leaving those symbols out you
-can save a lot of diskspace.

-Before you wonder if these debugging symbols would make a big difference, 
-here are some statistics:

-        A dynamic Bash binary with debugging symbols: 1.2MB
-</para></listitem>

-<listitem><para>
-        A dynamic Bash binary without debugging symbols: 478KB
-</para></listitem>

-        /lib and /usr/lib (glibc and gcc files) with debugging
-                symbols: 87MB
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-        /lib and /usr/lib (glibc and gcc files) without
-                debugging symbols: 16MB

-Sizes may vary depending on which compiler was used and which C library
-version was used to link dynamic programs against, but your results will be
-similar if you compare programs with and without debugging symbols. After
-I was done with this chapter and stripped all debugging symbols from all LFS
-binaries and libraries I regained a little over 102 MB of disk space. Quite
-the difference.
